Las Vegas Defeat Seattle (110-98) in OT, One Win Away From Finals
Before game 4 between the Aces and Storm tips off tonight, we have to talk about the insanity that occurred at the end of regulation in game 3. Up four with just over 11 seconds left, it looked like the Storm were on the verge of taking control of the series. But Riquna Williams immediately hit a three to cut it to one. After getting the ball back thanks to a pair of missed free throws, A’ja Wilson took it to the basket and hit a contested layup to give Vegas the lead back in just nine seconds of game time. Sue Bird then responded by drilling a corner three to put Seattle back on top with just 1.8 seconds left. Then, somehow, Jackie Young found herself open under the basket to hit a layup to tie the game and send it to overtime. Four made field goals in the span of 11.3 seconds. Absolute chaos.
In overtime, a pair of dagger threes by Chelsea Gray helped the Aces pull off the improbable comeback and put them one win away from reaching the Finals.
